Crisis and Trauma Counseling: Unique Forms of Helping by Eric W. Owens and Richard D. Parsons explores the nuanced skill set required for effective crisis intervention and counseling survivors of trauma. Emphasizing the importance of gaining the client’s trust, it addresses the complexities that practitioners face when assisting individuals who have encountered significant loss, trauma, or horror.In fifteen chapters chock-full of examples and other useful pedagogical features, the authors offer invaluable insights into the realities of traumatic stress counseling in contemporary society bolstered by the latest information from the field. They cover everything from developmental crises such as graduating from high school or college; situational crises such as sexual assault; environmental crises such as floods or fires; and existential crises such as not achieving a life goal.Key Updates to the Second Edition Include:• An entire chapter (Chapter 11) on empirically supported approaches to counseling survivors of trauma.• A greater exploration of multicultural factors.• More coverage of the impact of trauma on the brain.• Data from the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) study.• A discussion of the impact of COVID-19 as a collective trauma experience.• Information from the DSM-5-TR.This book is ideally suited as a supplement in both undergraduate and graduate courses in counseling, psychology, and social work with a focus on trauma and crisis intervention.Explore the differences in the Table of Contents between the first and second editions here.
